How Does Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Work?

If you are suffering from back pain, the discomfort can keep you from enjoying life. Back pain causes limited mobility and results in pain that’s frustrating and debilitating. The good news is that you don’t have to tolerate back pain.

At Heresco Chiropractic & Associates in Corvallis, OR, we have numerous natural treatments to manage back pain. One such treatment that has yielded tremendous success is non-surgical spinal decompression. But how does it work? If you are anxious to find out, please keep reading.

What Is Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression?

Your spine comprises 24 vertebrae, which are small bones separated by discs to prevent rubbing on each other. When there is compression in your spine, you may experience prolonged pain since the cushioning effect of the discs no longer works as it should.

Spinal decompression uses a motorized table to reduce pressure on your spinal discs. Once your discs are free from compression, your nerves and other tissues function better, resulting in reduced pain and better movement.

How Does Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Work?

Spinal decompression uses a traction table to create negative pressure in your spine, which relieves pressure on the disc material. The traction table is computerized, enabling the chiropractor to control it to achieve the desired negative pressure.

Non-surgical decompression is pretty successful in treating conditions like herniated disc and sciatica. Besides lifting pressure off the compressed structures, it promotes blood circulation, which improves the healing rate.

For spinal decompression to work optimally, you need to commit to about 25 treatments, with each session lasting for about 45 minutes. However, since patients’ needs vary, be sure to talk to your chiropractor to devise your personalized treatment plan.
